I hate losing stuff, yet my lack of short term memory makes it a daily routine to be searching for keys, phone, student id, etc. I was able to use my own experience to thoroughly enjoy Anthony's piece where he traces his steps with his inner thoughts accompanied by the usual college surrounding ambience. I appreciated the high quality of the clips demonstrating movement because of the use of different landscapes and ground textures to make an accurate detail of traveling around campus. A camera is an expensive object to lose and I was able to grasp the nervousness in Anthony's voice and pace. I was able to tell an immediate difference between the background noise of Eikhoff vs the Student Center and feel that the execution of capturing these areas was done very effectively.

I liked this clip because it illustrates the natural human activity of wasting time. I'm a serious boss when it comes to procrastinating, especially if I am equipped with the internet. The interjections of typing insinuate an assignment that desires completion. The sources of sounds somewhat confused me but also added to the meaningless information and entertainment we seek that help us avoid the task at hand. Overtones of eating and casual guitar playing also add to the emphasis of evading responsibility.

I loved this piece because it went with the theme of music triggering memory. Almost always when I listen to a song I am able to relate it to a past time, experience, a person or group of people or even what song would come next if I was listening to the full album or if I have previously put the track on a mixed cd. It is really odd how these small mementos are stored in my head and triggered by familiar melodies. The echoed countdown and the overtone of Pink Floyd throughout the piece puts the viewer in a past state. Also the choice of song that is demonstrated throughout the clip also tends to trigger the memory of an actual being or person when you think of 'Wish you were here.'
